Romir, you can do either. That's the beauty of real estate. You can be an agent that buys and sells properties to investors or you can be an investor yourself, take out loans and repay them while making profit. If you don't know anything of the business, I suggest working with and for a mentor because you'll gain experience extremely quickly.

At first, it will be the scariest activity you have ever done. You will hesitate and be burdened with fear. With the willpower you possess, you shall pass this fear and it will never scare you again.

I used to be scared of calling on the phone. I would hesitate on the phone and people would not be interested. The funny thing is by shining yourself you give way for others to shine. When they shine, they become excited. Excited to buy your product. I learned all of this by being a student of a mentor. Doing the same will introduce absolute and certain results.
